Chapter 1390: Chapter 909: Birth of the Void_2

"Even their own power was engulfed and crumbled in that ultimate torrent of destruction, eventually... becoming part of the ’destruction’ itself."

The gaze of the Divine King became incredibly profound, as though penetrating the barriers of the Divine Domain, seeing the chaotic and dangerous origins of the Star Realm.

"When such beings, when these individuals polluted, transformed, and fused by the ’destruction’ rule become more numerous, gathering at the source of destruction like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea...

"These aggregates of chaotic will and destructive energy, in endless mixing and fusion... gave birth to what we now know as—the ’Void’!"

Clearly, regarding the nature of the Void, this Divine King who personally led the world to break free from its claws has already explored its most fundamental level, even touching upon the truth of the Void’s creation.

"A long, long time ago."

The Divine King’s voice became distant and vast, as if coming from the very beginning of time.

"Long before even I was born, during the Chaos era, this aggregate transformed into a disorderly destructive monster. Countless predecessors who plunged into it became the most loyal servants and emissaries of the destructive will."

"They may still retain some distorted fragments of individual thought, but in essence, they have become pure puppets of the destruction rule.

"Their mission is to drag the entire Star Realm into an irrevocable apocalypse!"

The Divine King’s description made Chronos lean slightly forward, holding his breath, listening with utmost concentration. Talia’s eyes were also filled with shock.

Such a secret, let alone Kana, not even Chronos, the powerful Titan God of Battle, had heard of before.

This was a great Divine Power revealing to them the deepest scars and hidden history of the Star Realm.

"What was the scene like during that era?"

The Divine King’s tone carried an indescribable regret, shaking his head slowly.

"Even with my capabilities, I cannot truly glimpse its entirety. Because that is ’destruction’ itself—every tangible and intangible existence, including the ’memory’ that carries the past, the ’information’ that records history, and even the ’time’ that forms the continuity of existence, were all mercilessly... destroyed in that catastrophe."

He shook his head again, his heavy sigh contained a lament for countless lost things.

This kind of complete annihilation indeed is enough to evoke deep regret in anyone who knows of it.

"This level of destruction even denied the original will of the Star Realm complete exemption."

The Divine King’s voice carried a tone of awe.

"In the face of such an absolute threat of destruction, the will of the Star Realm was thoroughly ’awakened’; this was the most intense manifestation of the entire Star Realm’s instinct for survival!"

"That will..."

The Divine King’s gaze seemed to penetrate the mist of history.

"It obliterated those beings that retained some autonomous consciousness yet had become puppets of destruction; this in itself was also a liberation for those twisted souls.

"And forcibly... merged these pure and extreme energies and concepts of destruction together."

"However, the force of ’destruction’ had already swollen too vast; if allowed to expand chaotically, destruction would eventually devour everything, including the Star Realm itself."

The Divine King articulated the dilemma and choice of the Star Realm will.

"Thus, the Star Realm will shackled this frenzied aggregation of destruction, establishing ’operation rules’ for it.

"Bound it to a relatively unified, vast aggregate roaming within the Star Realm, and imposed some control mechanisms."

"Subsequently," the Divine King’s voice resonated with a solemnity akin to naming ancient things, "the existence reverently called the ’Void’ by life this world over was born. For its essence and actions are to turn all existence it touches completely to nothing."

He surveyed everyone, finally resting his gaze on Kana, carrying the weight of witnessing history.

"Before my Titan World successfully resisted its erosion, all beings of the Star Realm believed that being targeted by the Void meant an inevitable end.

"None believed that the destruction of the Void... could actually be endured!

"It was the Titan World, through struggle of blood and fire, with sacrifice and rebirth, that demonstrated to the entire Star Realm that the assault of the Void can indeed be resisted!

"A world targeted has the chance to survive within the maelstrom of destruction..."

Thus, the origin of how the Void came to be and why it exists as a ’wandering tide of destruction’ today has been clearly articulated by the Divine King.

And the wise Divine King has evidently long since grasped Kana’s deepest concerns within.

He cast his profound gaze on Kana as if penetrating through his divine body to reach his soul and connect to the core of his world.

"I can see."

The Divine King’s voice turned gentle and resolute, like stating a predetermined future.

"The light shining upon you, Kana. That light is not just owned by you as an individual, but is the brilliance projected onto you by the will of your entire world, the prayers and struggles of billions of beings!

"Such a light has illuminated your path forward, and likewise, it has illuminated the path of survival and the road to the future for your world amid the shadows of destruction."

His words brimmed with undisputable certainty.

"You are steadfastly walking on the path lit by the light of hope. Therefore, continue forward!"

The Divine King’s tone contained undeniable encouragement.

"Do not harbor unnecessary worries, do not let fear hinder your steps, and do not look back at the inevitable sacrifices and costs. Just move forward!"

He seemed to see Kana’s inner persistence and blueprint.

"Let this path under your feet become brighter and wider. Let your Holy Stone Plane become the world that stands most firmly and unyieldingly under the shadow of the Void!"

The Divine King’s voice suddenly rose, carrying a proclamation like prophecy, with a light of expectation in his eyes.

"I can faintly see the scene of success from the light ahead on your path..."

The Divine King paused slightly, as if confirming that blurred yet magnificent imagery.

"I... am looking forward to it!"

Evidently, more essential information that might greatly assist Kana, or perhaps could indicate specific directions, the Divine King chose to be concise—in consideration of the changes in the river of fate, the rules of the Star Realm will, or simply to avoid triggering an unpredictable future path.

He provided Kana with his final confirmation and support with language that was filled with firm belief yet deliberately vague on crucial details.

In simple terms, this great Divine King was using his unmatched power across the Star Realm, vast as the sea of knowledge, and profound insights into past and future to anchor and bless the path Kana had chosen.

Kana understood in his heart, filled with indescribable gratitude and respect.

He suddenly stood up, leaving the jade stool, and toward the direction of the Divine King, deeply bowed, performing a complex rite that melded human noble etiquette with the highest respect between gods, every motion filled with absolute respect and heartfelt admiration.

"Thank you."

Kana’s voice was clear and potent, resonating through the solemn hall: "Thank you for your generous enlightenment, thank you for your wise guidance, and especially thank you for this priceless gift."

He referred to the Divine King’s affirmation of his path and expectations, more precious than any material gift.

The Divine King nodded slightly, a gentle and contented smile on his face, accepting this earnest gratitude.

Then, he lightly waved his hand that was covered with brilliance again.

"Let’s end it here."

The Divine King’s voice returned to the composure of hosting guests.

"The information you wish to know is already sufficient. So..."

His gaze carried encouraging and urging.

"Go do what you should do, Kana. At this moment, let me assume the identity of the Lord of Titans to continue hosting this courtesy."

As his words fell, the rule aggregates servants quietly appeared again, refilling everyone’s cups with the divine brew gleaming with stardust shimmer.

The atmosphere of the banquet seemed to have returned to lightheartedness and enjoyment.
